Adult Summer Reading Challenge

Looking for a fun way to stay engaged and inspired this summer? Join our Adult Summer Reading Challenge, open to teens and adults (14+)!

Pick up a Bingo card at the Hollis Center Public Library starting June 1st and complete a variety of reading and library-related tasks—like reading a book in a new genre, attending a library event, or tackling a puzzle. For each completed square, a librarian will stamp your card.

It’s a great way to explore new stories, support your library, and have some summer fun. Stop in, grab your card, and get reading!
